Who Owns Your Soul?

Combining google with my daughter's current reading list leads to interesting conversations and findings.  She is reading The Picture of Dorian Gray for school.  Apparently, my idea for her to divert her teacher with the question of "what would you sell your soul for?" had been done before.  So, in discussing this we wondered what would happen if we plugged into google (or loogle) "who owns your soul?"  [Partly due to a conversation about who owns Kraft due to a commercial that seemed to suggest that Kraft was Canadian]. 

It turns out that one really ought to read the terms and conditions that come with stuff you by.  If you buy from Game Station, you may find that you have sold your soul!

“By placing an order via this Web site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to grant Us a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul. Should We wish to exercise this option, you agree to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5 (five) working days of receiving written notification from gamesation.co.uk or one of its duly authorised minions.”

 April Fool's joke?  Me thinks not!
